China’s rise and America’s decline spell conflict - The friction between these two leading world powers has grown too wide and deep to bridge with diplomatic niceties. They disagree on almost everything from trade and security to human rights, and in
the rare case they agree on an outcome, they disagree on the process.

China has succeeded where it counts, where the Soviet Union had failed – the economy. China’s economy has expanded at an incredible rate and, all things being equal, is destined to surpass that of the US in this decade.

China’s rise and America’s decline spell conflict - Again, I say... After the Vietnam War, after the Afghanistan War,... do we really need a war against China??? China has more people, better weapons,...

Well. America COULD afford to lose Vietnam. Supposedly, it COULD also
afford to lose Afghanistan. US democratic resilience is never about leaders not making mistakes. Rather, it is about the US remaking itself. Failure in Vietnam serves to prove America right. However bad was the failure in Vietnam, it continued to lead in the world economically, technologically, and militarily.
It also won the Cold War. The world, or the developed world, applauded and sang the End of History song in unison.

The question is whether US resilience was a matter of its democratic
system or a matter of it was the largest economy with most educated
and productive labor force. Without China, the US could certainly shake
off its failure in Afghanistian. Compare to all other nations, it is still the biggest economy with most educated and productive labor. And of course,
its military.

But the rise of China challenges this notion of democratic resilience. A strong and prosperous China put the notion of US resilience in doubt. And
it is China's original sin. Like all hegemons, the US does want any kind of successor, real or perceived. Whether China wants to be any kind of
hegemon is non-material.

If US is to engage in a fight with China, US might suffer and might lose America, too. US should think again before listening to their Pentagon warlords.

America cannot possibly lose IF history is not cyclical but linear per Christian
world view. And so far, God, or luck has been on the side of the US.

Experience does not count when war is concerned. It's determination and resourceful.ness, Just look at how US was defeated by Afghanistan's Taliban

ragtag civilian army and the ragtag North Vietnamese army with Vietcong's civilian guerrilla army.

US should remember not to fight a war if it does not belong to them.

It certainly hasn't been good for the U.S. since the 1950s...
